Issue
- Is the RSA Authentication Manager backup encrypted?
- What encryption algorithm is used for the RSA Authentication Manager backup?
Resolution
Data in an Authentication Manager backup is effectively double-encrypted. The backup file is encrypted with an AES cipher using a 256-bit key that is derived from the password entered by the administrator (at the time of backup). The sensitive data within the backup is also encrypted with the data-at-rest encryption mechanism that is used within the Authentication Manager database (also AES with a 256-bit key).
